Technology & Combat Characteristics

A revised version of the Tieren High Mobility Type, the Tieren High Mobility Type B emphasizes mobility over flight capabilities.[1][2][3] As a result, it becomes a mobile suit that specializes in hovering, ditching the expensive wings and jet engines of its predecessor.[2][3][4] Thanks to its hovering capabilities, the Tieren High Mobility Type B has vastly superior mobility over the MSJ-06II-A Tieren Ground Type that moves via walking or running.[1][5]

The Tieren High Mobility Type B is armed with a 30mm machine gun, three shields, and a carbon blade integrated 200mm x 50 caliber smoothbore gun.[1][3][5] When required, the smoothbore gun can be switch to the 200mm x 25 caliber smoothbore gun used by the Tieren Ground Type and High Mobility Type.[6] Units deployed for combat in the desert are fitted with dustproof joint covers.[1][3][4] The MSJ-06II-C/BT Tieren High Mobility Commander Type B is a commander version of the machine.[1][2][3]

Armaments

200mm x 50 Caliber Smoothbore Gun

Mounted on the right forearm, the 200mm x 50 caliber smoothbore gun is the main weapon of the Tieren High Mobility Type B.[1][3][5] It appears longer than the Tieren Ground Type and High Mobility Type's 200mm x 25 caliber smoothbore gun, but has similar basic performance.[2] However, it replaces the barrel-mounted 12.7 co-axial machine gun with a long, rectangular carbon blade.[2][3] Due to the integration of the carbon blade, the gun can be used for long to close range combat.[3]

200m x 25 Caliber Smoothbore Gun

In AD 2312, the Tieren High Mobility Type Bs guarding the ESF's anti-government forces detention facility that is holding Allelujah Haptism and Marina Ismail are equipped with the 200m x 25 caliber smoothbore guns instead of the 200m x 50 caliber smoothbore guns.[6] This is the same weapon as used by the Tieren Ground Type and High Mobility Type, and has a 12.7mm coaxial machine gun mounted on the main gun's barrel. The coaxial machine gun is adjusted so that its bullet trajectory synchronizes with the main gun up until a range of 2000 meters. Thus, by using the coaxial machine gun, it is possible to know the specific landing point of the bullet, and thereby increase the accuracy of the main gun.

30mm Machine Gun

Like the Tieren High Mobility Type, the Tieren High Mobility Type B has a 6-barreled machine gun built into the left chest that fires solid bullets.[1][3][5] Despite having a low attack power due to its small caliber, its rapid fire capability means that it is suitable for anti-personal, anti-air purpose and the likes. Additionally, although it cannot damage enemy units during mobile suit combat, it can still restrict enemy's movements.

Shield

The Tieren High Mobility Type B has three shields, two on the shoulders and one on the left leg.[3] The shoulder shields are the same as those on the Tieren Ground Type, while the leg shield appears larger than the Ground Type's.

The squad approached the GN-002 Gundam Dynames and GN-003 Gundam Kyrios as they tried to escape from the trap. While the Tieren Taozi attacked Gundam Kyrios, the Tieren High Mobility Type Bs pinned down the Gundam Dynames with fire support from allied units. Later, as Gundam Kyrios gained the advantage against Tieren Taozi, the Tieren High Mobility Type Bs and Sergei's Tieren High Mobility Commander Type B provided support fire to help the Tieren Taozi escaped.

After 15 hours of continuous attacks from the three military forces, the Gundam Kyrios was finally captured. As the squad left with the captured Gundam, they were attacked by the GNW-002 Gundam Throne Zwei that had arrived to save Gundam Kyrios. With the exception of Tieren Taozi, all the Tieren High Mobility Type Bs and Sergei's Tieren High Mobility Commander Type B were disabled by the Gundam Throne Zwei's GN Fangs.

The Tieren High Mobility Type B remained in service in AD 2312, but not as a front line combat unit. Several units served as guards for the ESF's anti-government forces detention facility holding the captured Allelujah Haptism and Marina Ismail. However, these Tieren High Mobility Type Bs were no match for the reborn Celestial Being’s new Gundams that arrived to rescue Allelujah. Despite interventions from the A-Laws, the Gundams managed to escape with Allelujah piloting his new GN-007 Arios Gundam, while Marina was rescued by members of the anti-Federation organization, Katharon. The Tieren High Mobility Type B was also one of the many mobile suits used by Katharon.

Later in the same year, during the Break Pillar incident, the Tieren High Mobility Type Bs of the ESF and Katharon worked alongside each other to shoot down the falling outer wall pieces of the damaged AEU's orbital elevator, La Tour, reducing the destruction caused to the city at the elevator's base.
